Horror films you feel are underrated.

I pretty much like all of those on the list, though I do feel a bit disappointed with Shocker. It starts of better than it ends\plays out. I prefer Destroyer-88', aka Shadow Of Death, with Deborah Foreman and Anthony Perkins, if I was to make a similar comparison to a death row inmate surviving the chair. Although Shocker's theme is a supernatural presence, and not played out in reality. Oh, then there's The Horror Show-89', aka House 3, with Brion James, which is pretty average too. Must re-vist all of these.

Now, Evilspeak-81' gets a lot of flack for it's cheese and over the top and phony looking gore moments, which only really come into play in the last 10mins. There are a few spots of cheesy violence scattered throughout. What this film does have to it's credit is Clint Howard, the military school setting, which is populated and run by a large contingency of jerks and jocks, and the harassment, abuse, bullying, self-important and arrogant attitudes that he has to put up with. In this respect, the film can tell quite an effective tale, because it is projected onto Howard's believable and sympathetic character. He stands out like a sore thumb, amongst all the stereotypes and caricatures of the other roles. His revenge is duly welcome, even if it is unintentionally hilarious.

The Beat Within has always been a keeper for me, because it is played out so seriously, is scary atmospheric, and it's makeup effects are extremely amusing. The Incubus has plenty of cheesy intrigue, and what could be considered a disturbing and sexually violent theme, which is made even more interesting due to the denouement.

Have only seen The Sentinel-77' a couple of times, but it is a goodie, as is The Legacy-78', which it reminds me of, and is also a semi Omen rip-off, but thoroughly enjoyable.
